***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT NEBRASKA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Section 100]

It was absolutely the right call to punt. The D has been playing well, and the Neb Q is terrible.

How could they overturn the 1st down AND mark the ball 1/2 yard back? That's the question that needs to be asked.

 

[rivergopher]

I have loved Morgan but this is Athans job to lose.

 

[MNVCGUY]

Well hey....at least our fans will have something to bitch about since we didn't go for it on 4th down....they are only happy when they have something to complain about.

 

[Allshade]

Whew.

 

[Tully55]

PJ comes from behind in the 2nd half to win

 

[RogueGopher]

Never a doubt! We're going bowling!

 

[Word]

For PJ to see how badly Mo wanted to go for it, after asking him to carry the ball 30+ times today and then not having faith in him to pick up half a yard is ridiculous. Have a little faith in your players, and go out and win the damn game. So soft.

He did. He had faith in his defense.

 

[upnorthkid]

I love that the on field person actually asking PJ some good questions

 

[Grant]

ok guys. Super pumped on the win. Really sad about that Punt.

 

[Yah-E]

Damn! Gotta have drama PJ! Fuck!

Awesome win!

 

[PhiloVance]

Oh yee of little faith!

 

[saintpauljeff]

1-33

 

[Ewert86PC]

Well, I'm happy. We broke the streak of losing when down by 10 at any point in the game. We're bowl eligible. We beat Nebraska.

 

[scools12]

Punt was right call.

Probably but still didn’t like it.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Well, I'm happy. We broke the streak of losing when down by 10 at any point in the game. We're bowl eligible. We beat Nebraska.

The curse is broken! Only up from here.

 

[#2Gopher]

Thank god.

Nebraska had a lot of work to do.....but Fleck's stupidity regarding his timeouts left the door open. That's just inexcusable.

I know much has been said about this timeout. Looks like it was a first down and it was. That is a given. He just allowed his players to regroup for a bit. I can't fault Fleck on this one.

 

[FlaGopher23]

Well hey....at least our fans will have something to bitch about since we didn't go for it on 4th down....they are only happy when they have something to complain about.

You keep saying this. It’s not complaining, it’s being real and seeing what is happening with your eyes. Clearly, the “complainers”, as you state, were right about putting AK in. That’s just a fact.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

I love that the on field person actually asking PJ some good questions

That was good. He was NOT committed to TM that’s for sure and acknowledged Mo wanting to go for it, I liked that

 

[GringaGopher]

Bring on the Corn nation video !

 

[Gophers1992]

I trust the RB. I don't trust the OL. Have you watched any games this year?

This. I trust our defense to not let them go 90 yards more than anything

 

[GophersInIowa]

Some more home cooking at the end.

 

[GoodasGold]

F'ing TO's.

PJ never met a timeout he wouldn’t call.

 

[MirandaB]

Some more home cooking at the end.

I told my husband the same thing

 

[GoodasGold]

Some more home cooking at the end.

Froze at 1:29

Nubin dropping the F bomb on KFAN
Question: what is your impression of Athan?
Nubin: He's an F'in baller

Agreed. This isn't the NFL where QBs are much more competent. The caliber of player under center for Nebraska was pathetic. There was a very small chance that a Nebby QB could drive 90 yards.

 

[cncmin]

I don’t understand how they overturn that but don’t reset clock or timeout

that. i agree that maybe he was short. I don’t agree with not resetting the rest. (or did they and I didnt see it)

 

[Yah-E]

Hahaha! Beth is calling the next game after us on ESPN2!

Can’t stand her voice!

 

[Polski]

It's Athan's time to shine. It's his team now.

Let's roll.

 

[GoodasGold]

A big ten road win. Enjoy it. Come back down ten. Enjoy it.

Killed the jinx!
